Every day, thousands of products travel from one point to another in the country. Whether we’re talking about household appliances or delicate pieces of machinery, they all share the same challenge: <\/span>to arrive in perfect condition<\/b>. However, they don’t always make it. <\/span>Blows, falls and incorrect handling<\/b> can jeopardize even the best-planned shipments. And one of the most frequent and costly problems in the logistics chain is breakages <\/span>during transport<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why <\/span>Capsa<\/b> has been developing <\/span>packaging solutions<\/b><\/a> for demanding sectors such as ecommerce <\/span>for more than 20 years<\/b>. We know that a sturdy, well-designed box protects the product, but also the reputation of the shipper. Below, we analyze the most frequent causes of breakage in transport and how to avoid them. Plus, we tell you how our <\/span>Capsa 2in1\u00ae reusable box<\/b> helps make a difference in your shipments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Main causes of breakage in transport<\/b><\/h2>\n

Breakage does not happen by chance. They are usually the result of a series of errors or deficiencies that are repeated in logistics chains, often due to lack of attention to detail or <\/span>failure to use quality materials.<\/b><\/p>\n

Inadequate packaging<\/b><\/h3>\n

Inadequate or low-quality packaging<\/b> can have disastrous consequences in the transport of products. Many companies continue to use generic or reused boxes that are not designed to withstand the rigors of modern transportation, especially in the ecommerce channel, where orders go through multiple handling points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another key factor in packaging is<\/span> the lack of internal protection.<\/b> The absence of separators, padding or cushioning systems causes products to move around inside the box, generating friction or internal collisions that result in damage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capsa 2in1\u00ae boxes<\/b> have been created precisely to minimize this risk. Thanks to their practical and functional design, they offer <\/span>33.9% more <\/b>resistance<\/b><\/a> to lateral compression and stacking<\/b> than conventional boxes made from the same quality of paperboard (Itene Test S01.9418). This improvement is due to their structural design and <\/span>double locking system<\/b>, which not only increase the safety of the contents, but also optimize picking efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improper handling<\/b><\/h3>\n

Did you know that <\/span>rough loading and unloading<\/b> is one of the main causes of damage to goods during transport? Similarly, excessive stacking or improper use of tools such as pallet trucks or forklifts can cause both visible and structural breakage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inappropriate transport<\/b><\/h3>\n

It is not the same to use a <\/span>vehicle prepared for the transport of products<\/b>, such as a truck with a fastening system, than a van without conditioning or interior protection. <\/span>Breakages in transport<\/b> can be caused by vans or trucks without adequate preparation, where the packages move during the journey. Likewise, transporting fragile goods together with heavy products or products of incompatible dimensions increases the risk of breakage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, in addition to choosing the right packaging, <\/span>it is necessary to review the distribution system<\/b>, segment the types of cargo and choose the right vehicles for each type of goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Climatic and environmental conditions<\/b><\/h3>\n

Humidity, extreme temperatures or mechanical vibrations can also compromise the integrity of the package. Traditional cartons, if not prepared, can lose rigidity or crumble in humidity. Again, the use of quality-assured cartons such as<\/span> Capsa 2in1\u00ae<\/b> reduces this risk, as they are designed with superior durability requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lack of staff training<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, the <\/span>lack of training of logistics personnel<\/b> can trigger breakages that would be avoidable. Operators without clear instructions on how to stack, load or identify fragile products multiply the risk of incidents. Therefore, we want to place special emphasis on the <\/span>importance of prevention<\/b>: everything begins with knowledge and the implementation of clear handling protocols.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequences of breakages<\/b><\/h2>\n

Thinking that breakages in transport affect only the product would reduce the problem to a minimal part of its consequences: <\/span>they have, as we detail below, a direct impact on the value chain and on the company\u2019s image.<\/b><\/p>\n

Direct economic losses<\/b><\/h3>\n

Returns, reshipments and replacements translate into a <\/span>high direct cost<\/b>. To that you must add the resources invested in managing claims, verifying damage and reorganizing logistics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delivery delays and complaints<\/b><\/h3>\n

A breakage delays delivery and disrupts the customer\u2019s schedule, affecting both <\/span>the end-user experience and the operations of companies that rely on tight deadlines<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loss of customer confidence<\/b><\/h3>\n

Today\u2019s consumers are very demanding, so <\/span>a damaged shipment can cause them to lose all confidence in the brand<\/b>. A single bad experience can be enough for them not to repeat the purchase and share their dissatisfaction with other potential customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to avoid breakage in transport<\/b><\/h2>\n

Preventing breakage is possible. At <\/span>Capsa<\/b> we focus on creating solutions that combine <\/span>suitable materials, functionality and maximum safety<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing the right quality packaging<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where<\/span> Capsa 2in1\u00ae reusable boxes <\/b>make the difference. Their innovative structural design offers several advantages over conventional boxes:<\/span><\/p>\n
